Cuba's Fuel Shortage Looms Over Havana as US Pressure Mounts.
Monetary Day saw Cuba's fuel supplies dwindle rapidly, in a move that reflected the stranglehold of US economic sanctions. As oil supplies were cut off, hotels with low occupancy rates closed their doors and airlines scrambled to adjust flights to compensate for reduced jet fuel availability. With international travelers advised to suspend non-essential travel and tour operators forced to scale back operations, many Cubans are now facing dire circumstances.
The government announced a series of emergency measures aimed at rationing available fuel, including limiting the hours of operation for state-owned companies and schools, while tourists were urged to stay in hotels with reduced occupancy rates. The resulting shortages have caused widespread inconvenience and even raised concerns about Cuba's ability to survive without sufficient oil supplies.
With US sanctions on Cuba now tighter than ever before, American President Donald Trump has hinted at a possible deal that could ease some of the pressure but will it be enough for Cubans facing dire circumstances?
The situation is critical, with many fearing for their future as daily life becomes increasingly difficult. As the international community weighs in to voice its concern over Cuba's plight, there remains no indication on whether or not Washington plans to intervene directly.

how can one country cause so much suffering to another just because of politics? like i get it sanctions have their place but this is taking it too far... cubans are already struggling and now they're facing a fuel shortage which means no food, no water, no electricity... it's heartbreaking.
. i just hope someone is gonna step in and help cuba out soon. the us president saying he might make a deal sounds good but we need action, not just words 
. it's time for washington to take responsibility for their actions and find a way to ease the pressure on cuba without making things worse

Sending vibes to all the Cubans struggling right now 
... I mean, they've been through tough times before and have always managed to come out stronger 
. The US sanctions are really putting them in a tight spot, but you know what? I think Cuba's got some amazing people who are gonna make this work 
. And hey, if a deal comes through from the US, that's awesome too! Maybe it's time for a new chapter in their economic story 
. Cuba's got spirit, and I'm rooting for 'em 
and honestly, we should be supporting cuba more than just talking about easing sanctions 
.
. Like, they gotta cut off oil supplies to hotels and airlines, that's just gonna affect people who are already struggling to make ends meet 
. But at the same time, it's not like they're exactly thrilled about traveling to Cuba in the first place 
. Can't we just sit back and let Cuba figure things out on its own for a sec? I mean, it's been through some tough times before and they've always managed 
.
US sanctions are one ting but now it's affectin the regular people who need fuel for life 
hotels closin, airlines strugglin... what's gonna happen to all them cubans? 
️. With tourist revenue plummeting, I wonder if Cubans will be forced to switch to biofuels, which would require a massive investment 
The data says 70% of Cubans live off the state's social security system 
. This is gonna get messy, fast!
